BRAKING

Your vehicle is equipped with a hydraulically
activated disc brake
mechanically/hydraulically operated rear
brakes. Operating the brake lever applies
the front brake. Depressing the brake pedal
applies the rear brake.
For normal braking, apply both the brake
pedal and lever while down-shifting to
match your road speed. For maximum
braking, close the throttle and firmly apply
the pedal and lever; pull in the clutch
lever before coming to a complete stop to
prevent stalling the engine.
(For CBS)
Both brakes can be applied with the help of
rear brake pedal only. However, for more
effective braking, it is advised to apply both
front and rear brake simultaneously
